Found this one travelling south from Bordertown in SA, after finding out I had an extra day to go caching before having to be in Melbourne.
I did get pictures at Ki Ki but richary beat me to it. On my map it is supposed to lead to the "My My" homestead but maybe the council got it wrong? After all, naming it three times would be a little overkill.

I'm afraid this isn't Nerrin Nerrin itself (which is about 11km south of here), but this marks the turn-off to it on the Glenelg Highway between Ballarat and Hamilton, near Streatham. AND I forgot to include myself and the GPS in the photo (sorry). I note that another Nerrin Nerrin has been logged, but it is a very long way away (near Canberra), so it must be the sort of name that is so nice they used it twice.

Dungdung is much nicer than the name might suggest. In fact it is a picturesque little village in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan at 2875m above sea level.
That's me in the picture with the GPS firmly attached to the handlebars of the venerable Royal Enfield motorcycle that took me across the eastern Himalaya.

After a good caching and camping holiday down south, my friends recommended Central Tilba as a definite must-see - and i agree.
Enough rhymes. As we drove toward Tilba, we first crossed through TILBA TILBA and was happy to snap a photo of myself next to the roadsign with my confused friends.

I work in a business located in Paw Paw Road, Brooklyn in the industrial western suburbs of Melbourne. Occasionally I am asked for the address and this usually results in a further question on how to spell it. Traditionally the answer has been 'as in the fruit' until some clown suggested 'half a dog'.
Thanks for the cache Mix

I took this photo while visiting Libya in March/April 2006. I was there to view a 4 minute total solar eclipse in the Sahara Desert. This photo shows a Nissan 'Maxima Maxima' that is parked just inside the entrance to the magnificent Sabratha Ruins, 66km west of Tripoli. The two identical badges on this car did catch my eye, but I mainly took this photo to show the piece of wood that is hung from bumper bars to ward off evil.
Now, I know that submitting this photo may not qualify it to be a 'find' as such (because I'm not in the photo with my GPSr), but I thought it would be more interesting that looking up the Melways to find a local double named street! This photo was taken before I had discovered Geocaching. I'd be happy to make this log a note if the owner requests...
TFTC!
Regards, 38 degrees south.

S27° 56.519' E152° 38.927'
While doing a spot of caching on our way to visiting parents in the Fassifern Valley, we came across Obum Obum. The origin of the name is not known, however the owner of the hills and adjacent land had named his property 'Obum Obum' prior to 1895. The Obum Obum school was opened in 1899 and surprisingly, the name was not popular with some parents! We found this sign across the road from a cemetary - maybe Obum Obum were the last thoughts of some of the residents.

Doon Doon is a small community with a modern roadhouse on the Great Northern Highway south of Wyndham - in the middle of nowhere. The aboriginal community running this roadhouse was the first aboriginal community in the state to achieve Foodsafe Accreditation.

I found this lovely little rest stop on the Stuart Highway when I was travelling from Alice Springs back to Adelaide. It's called the Bon Bon Rest stop. I'd like to say it was a cracker but that might be stretching it a little :)
It did have clean toilets though and some nice shade to park the car under.
Tried to at least get my hand into the phot (with GPS) but for some reason that bits a little brurry!
Cheers

This sign is located on the Bindi Bindi, Toodyay Road, Toodyay, Western Australia.
Gin Gin is a delightful, historic town located 83km north of Perth,it is one of the oldest towns in Western Australia. Today it retains much of its antiquity being an absolutely delightful and quaint township with a substantial number of historical buildings, an excellent old pub, and lazy, tree-lined Gingin Brook running through the heart of the settlement. Nestled into the valleys to the north of Perth, it is the ideal distance from the capital for a pleasant day trip and a lovely place for a cache.

Found this sign while out caching today. Whilst we knew of this whole wildlife corridor for some time, we did not know what the name meant. An article found at http://home.vicnet.net.au/~fommv/meaning.htm
lists the meaning as "Mullum Mullum is thought to mean "place of many big birds" and so historians decided therefore that it meant "Place of Eagles".

Took a photo of this sign on the way back from Caloundra after being told of this cache. Now that we know it can be more than just a suburb we may be able to log a few more finds. We also now know we have to have the GPS in the photo too :-(

Found Merin Merin Swmp near Clunes in Central Victoria. Apparently it means windy. The name being repeated means something similar to "lots of" so I guess this is a very windy place. Today it was 30 and very humid and it would have been nice to have some merins around.

Wallan Wallan. What drives people to name the same place twice? They even have a resting area it's so nice.
This location is on the Hume Highway into (or out of I suppose) Melbourne about 1 hour north or halfway between Melbourne and Seymour.
The road site stop even has toilets, drinking water, a fire place and what appears to be a thermo nuclear explosion.

I am going to claim Gin Gin, Queensland. While the above co ordinates are not at the town itself, they are at Miriam Vale, next town north on the Bruce Highway. Unfortunately, I couldnt get myself in the pic, as I was alone at the time. Next time I pass through there, I will get a better pic.

As soon as I saw the name of the cache I immediately guessed what it was about and thought of the example you used! Will have to find another now! :) |

1745 On the way to Toronto for Asho's 60th birthday party Mrs C said, "Why not get WANGI WANGI for a cache?" So we tried; but you will have to take her word that that is my head and buttons of my shirt - as the flash only caught the sign.
